Secularists turn to GOP lobbyist to help push their cause

Their issues are predominantly liberal and their constituency strongly leans Democratic, but a leading secularist group hopes a high-rolling Republican lobbyist is just who they need to open doors on Capitol Hill.

The Secular Coalition for America on Thursday (May 3) hired Edwina Rogers, who has worked for two Republican presidents and four Republican senators, as its new executive director. The SCA has 11 member groups — many of them officially at odds with Republican politicians and policies — including American Atheists and the American Humanist Association.

The choice of a leader with strong ties to Republicans was a deliberate one, said SCA spokeswoman Lauren Anderson Youngblood.

“She can reach out to segments of the population that may be receptive to our message but maybe never heard of us before or maybe associated us with one particular political party,” Youngblood said. “She can help this organization grow beyond its traditional reach.”

This is what progressives/communists/socialists/secularists do, they infiltrate various parts of the government, church, education system, etc and turn this country and its morals upside down from the inside. Since so many of the GOP members are RINOs, she will approach them first. I have serious doubts as to whether or not the other members have the backbone to stand up to the secularists. They are too worried about getting reelected.

  Yet by the constitution there is no prohibition against influencing the Government as a consequence of ones faith, whatever it may be. I believe it is extremely important for christians to refrain from political compromise, that is from friendship with the world. Otherwise our faith will have little to no influence on the people in our lives.
  
  James 4:4
  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

If the GOP jumps into bed with secularists, then it is time for Christians to abandon the GOP.

Lobbyist will follow the money. We need to monitor RINOs closer and diligently. Their plans need to be exposed and action taken by the grassroots in order to maintain a conservative platform. JoJo is right in stating that the majority of electeds are concerned only with their re-election. Which is precisely why we must keep them accountable.

Using your Christian religion to boost politics is, in my opinion, is an abomination to GOD. I must not be done. While I will vote for a Christian before a person who is not a Christian, I think it is wrong to push yourself as a Christian. The fact that you are a Christian, SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A TOOL!". Let you decisions and actions tell the story. The scripture can act here as well as any other place. Let your work portray " the fruit of the tree!"
